June Squibb

June Squibb is genuinely one of my favorite late-bloomer stories in Hollywood, and I mean that without any condescension — this woman was grinding on Broadway since 1959, doing the unglamorous supporting work in films like About Schmidt and Meet Joe Black for decades, and then at 83 years old she showed up in Alexander Payne's Nebraska and just absolutely stole the movie from everyone. Her Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress was so well-deserved it almost felt overdue. There's a sharpness to her that never reads as frail or quaint — she's got this Illinois bedrock toughness underneath the grandmotherly exterior, and that's what makes her so magnetic on screen. Eighty-plus years of living and a lifetime of stage work distilled into every single scene.
